The Pythagorean Theorem

I know this is weird but, on Tuesday Mr. Max went and tried explaining what the Pythagorean Theorem really is. I found it incredibly boring, I was barely paying any attention - I was half asleep. I understood it was part of the curriculum to do this allover again, personally it barley made any sense to do so,(then again everyone isn't like me) so, I'm just gonna provide you with some websites that will give you a hazy look a what he did (I don't even know everything he did, I was surprised when he turned the light on, though mental math was fun! lol lol).

Oh, he also went on about who Pythagoras is. LoL, I'm reading a book about astronomy right now and I happened to be reading a section about Pythagoras, I found he became quite insane (my personal opinion again). If anyone wants the details SEND ME AN EMAIL (semba04@mts.net or semba04@gmail.com) I'd love to share it with you, though I might post it anyway (on some boring day) (because I find that stuff extremely interesting).

Ah, yes. We also programed our calculators and spreadsheets to calculate the hypotenuse of a right (angled) triangle (which I found fun, again my opinion).
